It is not necessaryto suspend nut judgment in coming to this opinion till Mr. BUitIIETT'S reply is published, as he would wish us to do—for it must be recollected , tha t both sides of the question have been already heard. Ha made his accusations, those accusations have been fully and impartially enquired into, and the result is before the public, by whom justice will now be clone to those whose conduct and character were 'assailed, when they had no possible means of defend ing themselves. Mr. BURNETT is Convicted of mis representation in repeated instances ; and with the evidence of this report before us, we may set all his accusations down as slander. Yes, 'tis Slander, Whose eelge ie sharper than the sword; whose tongue Out-venoms all the worms of Nile; whose breath Rides on' the posting winds, and doth belie All corners of the world. Our Readers must peruse with regret an advertise ment in this day's Paper, soliciting public relief for that most meritorious class, the unemployed Printers of London, who are now suffering all the privations consequent on povertyand distress. We are sure that the modest appeal of persons, whose labours are pro ductive of so many public benefits, will not be made in vain. The distress which has been so generally felt in the country, falls with accumulated misery upon this suffering portion of, the community. They have long struggled against the pressure of the, times, and endured much in secret, hesitating to obtrude their forlorn 'Foe, upon public attention ; and it is only now, when numbers are added to the long list of • distress, that they are compelled to ask aid from those tr.,. whom their ingenious labours have af forded''lso much amusement and profit. When the pubb..c extend their bounty to more clathourolis but lesu deserving applicants, we feel persuaded that the ingenuous 'and sensible address of the Journeymen Printers will force its way 'to the heart, and awaken public sympathy in favour of individuals so generally. tiseful. • We understand that upwards of one thousand • men are now out, of employ, with no prospect of getting any till the bookselling business, and other branches of literature, recover from their present depressed state. We need not picture the deplorable situation in which the families of these sufferers must be—the knowledge that .persons every way so deserving are in want, must ensure, a speedy relief from those who look upon lite rature as the first ornament of a country, and education • the. first blessing of a people.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. • COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Titts DAT.) His !Alumni e sat at eleven o'clock in his roan, which Ns.;,. open to the public. 11ANSON V. rICKWRINd AND onlins. Mr. Lovare moved er parte for an injunction against the de fendants. The plaintiff was a lady desirous of henefitting a ne phew and niece, one of whom was one of the defendants, and the other the wife of another of them. She assigned over to the defendants three stuns of stock, atnounting, together, to about three thousand pounds, the annual produce arising from which was to be paid to her for her life, and then the amount was to go to the two individuals named. The plaintiff had ascertained that the defendants had sold, or were about to sell, out the stock, and going to apply the produce improperly. She had elan found, that one of them was insolvent, had offered a composition to his creditors, and that a commission of bankrupt had issued against another. Under these circumstances the injunction was asked, to restrain the sale of the stock, or the defendants from further re reiving any more money on account of it. His Loansuir directed the injunction to go to prevent their receiving the money, if they had got the stock transferred, but he wished a short affidavit stating the actual fact. If this had been done, he should consider it as rascally an act as any man Could be guilty of. BANKRUPTCIES AND JUDGMENTS. This LoßDsHip has over and over again stated, that he hats more reasons than one for feeling most anxious to get through all the bankrupt petitions now before him, and cases in which he has yet to pronounce judgment, when the Court meets again._ Sane of the bankrupt petitions are in matters of extreme hardship, and of vital importance, not only to the parties concerned, but to the public generally, as his Lordship has intimated. One of the heaviest matters is that of " Ex-parte Kemp, in the matter of Kemp and Batchelor," which was expected to have been argued this week, but in consequence of the Bar having been broken up earlier than a short time ago was anticipated, it has been thrown over till November. The affidavits, and other documentary evi dence, in support of this petition, are so - voluminous, that the briefs of the Solicitor-General, Messrs. Horne, Montague, and Whittnarsh, who are retained for. Mr. Kemp, are extrem*ly ItIAWMAN V. TICC:G. Hig Lc:apalm thought the order to be made in this case ought to be something of this sort—that the plaintiffs should bring their action or actions immediately against the defendant, for the publication of his book ; that they should be put to prove their title at law ; that the defendant should be at liberty to dispute it if he should be so advised, as to parts of the book, which are alleged to be only themselves copies or coloured parts from other books; that the plaintiffs should elect whether they go before the Muter to enquire into what parts were coloured.or copies; or deliver to the defendant, written one month before he had to plead, a statement or affidavit of those puts; that the defendant should keep an account of the profits of the books he sold, that an account of those profits should be deli vered every two months, sealed up and verified by affidavit ; that the sealed paper should only be opened under an order of the Court; and that the consideration of all costs should be reserved till after the trial. DAWSON, V. GARY. His LORDSHIP stated that this was an appeal from an order made by his Honor the Vice Chancellor. The question was of great general importance, and was, where a Receiver did not pan his aceounts,- was unable to pay the rents and profits he had re-' ceived, was discharged and disallowed his salary, whether persona .who had entered into recognisance. as his sureties, were liable, not only for the principal, but the interest of what the prin cipal ought to have paid over ? In cues in general, unless the words of recognizance. were extensive enough to make a surety liable for all that the principal would be liable to; his Lordship thought the sooner the language was altered the better ; but in this particular case the Receiver had been a bank rupt for some years before he had been called on to account, and there had • been such !aches on the part of those whose duty it was to have called for an account, that would have madelt an extremely hard thing on the sureties, if they were to account for the interest. Therefore his Lordship confirmed the Vice-Chancellor's order, that they should not, under the circumstances of this calla, be called upon to pay interest. WILCOX V. IKODYS. FFis Loansittr stated that this also was an appeal respecting some legacies ; hut that upon the beat Consideration he could give the papers, and the arguments he had heard in the case, his opi nion was, that the VieeChancellor was right in the (rider he had made, and that therefore it would have to be confirmed. IK Tilt MATTZP. OF DANIEL, A BANKRUPT. In this matter the prineipal question was, whether Mr. Daniel was to have his certificate; and, that again was connected with the question, whether the'allaged usury would have to be tried at law. The judgment of his Lordship was, that the usury might to he tried,' and that he could not grant the certificate in the meantime. XX-PAIXX HODSON, IX TUX MATTER Of RAMSOXX AND OTIIJIMS, e►x=xons. In this matter his Lordship could not, however anxious Sir John Ramsden and his family might be for him to have his certi ficate, grant it at present. All his Lordship could do was, to di rect the Commissioners to review their report-of the petitioning creditors' debt under the commission ; in which review they should have regard to the nature of the debt,. both as it was stated in the proceedings under the commission, and in the affidavits ; to review their report with respect to the trading, and likewise Mr. Hudson's debt. DEACON V. COLEMAN. His LORDSHIP said this was an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls. As tiir as the order directed a specific per formance of agreement, it was right ; but the accounting part re quired some modelling, which he would make, and send it to the parties. UE atavvota v. attoors. His LORDBI4II. Will be prepared to deliver out his order in this came se-morrow, at eleven o'clock. Ills Loansuir heard several other matters before he rose. He will sit again to-morrow and Monday. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MA Nsloal.4lcusg.....::_tyr igis Day.) An old woman, the wife of a dirty Miserible-looking fellow, who sells matches in the streets, was brought up on a charge of having been found dead drunk yesterday on Cornhill. She was found extended on the pavement, quite stiff and cold. Two beadles carried her to the justice-room: one had her legs over his shoulders—the other supported her head ; and thus she was borne through the Streets like a corpse.' She had none of the fever of intoxication, or the smell of liquor about her ; breathing was im perceptible, anti every one concluded that life was just extinct.— After a time, however, she began to thew signs of animation, and ultimately, by the efforts of the officers, ,she was restored. She now said that her husband had made her drunk. The husband here presented himself; he was a most wretched figure, he wore a long dirty beard, and wits dressed in filthy tat ters, and hail succeeded in snaking a complete Caliban of himself. He said he had given his wife a' few glasses of rum, and " a pot or so of heavy." The Loan Mavols, who was at ; first struck with the wretched. nets of the man's appearance, without, heeding his reply, said, " really these wretched people must not be suffered to go at large in the streets. O ffi cers, why did you nut tak e th em to their pa rish." (To the match man) " Where is y ou r parish ?" The Matchman- -111 y p arish! I want nothin with my parish, nor does my wird. If the O ffi cers bad not med dled, I sh ou ld h ave put her into a coach, and taken her home. The Loan Maxna7 inquired into the circumstances of the matchman, when it was stated that he once presented a different appearance in the streets : his hair, which was now matted and hanging in rat-tails, was then sprucely dressed ; his now well - manures' beard; which looked like a filthy scrubbing brush, was then kept cleanly shaved ; and, instead of dirty rags, huddled about him, he had the luxury of a clean shirt; a clean nankeen jacket, a white apron, white stockings, and polished shoes. He then figured in the streets as a pieman. His present meta morphosis was , entirely a matter of trade. lie found it far snore profitable to excite the pity than the appetites of the public, and got more pence for snatches on charity than for piet, and could now atTord to sn a k e ot• himse lf drunk and pay for a roach h ome. Ilia Lordship dismissed the " timber merchant," who did not come e xactly with in his wife to him, with: an adm i ) nitiontoaware le law, and gave up , , to beware how they were sound again in the xaty indulging such an . _______,---------- Sarnia liroten, oma c n of n o Allsit YLETIONE..—(Tits DAY . ) w and shabbily dressd, wed b il y e Samuel Farrington; a dece ll l oo king man, 60 years of age, with theft. salt The complainant stated, that he is employed in carrying -- by a boat, from Staffordshire to London • ; as he was walking from Leather-lane to Oxford -street, about nine o'clock lest night, lie very prepossessing appearancet, met with the prisoner ; he was somewhat fresh at recollects being an d w as able sure he had his watch when he fi rst to walk very well; in a public-house with her in Oxford - street; left it and went with Out prisoner into the Edga. 9 net with her, the time; is ware-road, where he entered a public-house with her; nobody present; is not sure whether he bad connection with her; left her when they came out of the public house ; cans ot recollect whether she asked him any thing; "watch was a capital good one, worth 4/. when it was new." The complainant spoke in a manner indicating that he was so tipsy that he did not distinctly recollect the cireumstances. Stephen Beauchamp, No. Edgware-road—Never saw com plainant till last night ; he came to the witness's shop with psi saner about ten o'clock last night ; she was sober, but he was tipsy ; he could stand and speak very- well ; they came for a shil ling's worth of oysters ; she was eating them in the shop while he was talking to her in a jocular manner ; about ten minutes after they left his shop, saw her drag him round the corner of Cannon-place; ; he was staggering; they were behind Con naught-place about twenty minutes or more, at the end of which, saw a woman running round the same corner in the greatest haste possible; could not swear it was the prisoner, but believed it was her; she crossed Edgware-road, and went up Bryan-street; suspecting that all was 'not right, witness went be hind Connaught-place, *here he found the complainant sleeping, with his face to the ground ; he had a smock frock on, but did not re. mark the rest of his dress ; be had the Bap of his breeches down, but the waist ,of them was not; w i tness immediately went for a watchman,' who came up along with a nother watchman, and they raised the complainant against a wall, and asked him if he had lost any money? he said no, and took a purse out of each pocket. They asked him if he had a watch ? he said he had " as good a one as is in England," and immediately put his hand (to his breeches pocket ; but found it was gone, and said " I)—n her, as I have lost my watch—the girl took it from me." John Yoxall, the watchman, who was called by preceding wit. ness, concurred with him in every thing that happened after lie had some up. John Shepherd of the Bow-street patrol, stated that he was met by the complainant and the preceding witness about half-past six this morning in Paddington. The complainant told him he was robbed of his watch and four sovereigns last night, and requested hint to take the prisoner into cus t o dy. Witness being informed that she lived at No. 50, Cato -street, went there about seven this morning, and asked for her landlord, who said that there was no such person in the house ; -witteess however insisted that she was, and not having been resitted, entered the house, along with the other watchman above-mentioned, and found her in bed. He told her the purpose of his coming; she said she. knew nothing about the matter ; he made a partial search in the room wherein she slept, but found nothing. The prisoner stated to the Magistrate that the complainant had been with her frequently before ; that he was with her last night, but had no connection with her, he was so tipsy; he did not give her any thing but the oysters; she knows nothing at all of the watch or sovereigns. —She was of course committed. 130W-STREF.T.—(Tms Day.) Two women were brought before Mr. Minshull, on two sepa rate charges, made by bakers residing in Drury-lane, for attempt ing to impose bad shillings on them. One of the bakers stated that he had taken no less than twelve of these shillings within this fortnight, all of the same stamp and date. There were persons going about selling them for three-pence each.• One of the wo men was discharged, there not being sufficient grounds to suspect that she knew the coin was bad. The other woe committed to take her trial. IiATTON-GARDEN.—(Twts DAT.) GROSS ASSAULT....... William Vale, an nailer, was charged with an assault on Mr. Martin, his employer, a livery-stable-keeper, in Guildford -street, Russell-square. Mr. Martin stated, that he had taken the prisoner into his em ploy mine months ago, from companion, he being then starving. For some time he conducted himself with decorum, but latterly his conduct had undergone a considerable change, and he became an habitual drunkard, and neglected his work ; the first three days of this week he had been drunk, and only came to the stables to create a riot; and finding on one occasion that witness himself was actually doing his work for him, ha swore that if the work was not left, he (prisoner) would be the death of him, and snatch ing a pitchfork made a desperate lounge at biro, which, if be had not avoided, might have been attended with serious consequences. He succeeded in wresting it from him, and turned him out of the stables, when he 'commenced a volley of the most horrid abuse, and repeatedly challenged him to fight. Mr. Martin add e d, ,th a t the prisoner'had been nailed by two frieuds of his for an assault on another person, from which bail he now threatened to abscond as soon at at laNity.._ _ - Mr. ROC:IRS—What hide you to say to this charge. Vale—l neither know or care any thing about it. • Mr. Rooaas—Then you will give 24 hours notice of bail. The • two gentlemen who had bailed him on a former occasion now came (onward and begged to surrender him, which was done in the usual way. The prisoner was now informed he would have to procure four bail befffie he could be set et liberty, in default of which he was taken to the New Prison. MARLBOROUGH 7 STREET,—(Tuss DAY.) LOU) MAIRTBOIIOVGII.—It appears that his Lordship is de termined to accomplish his intention of procuring the release of Eleanor Goodall, for which purpose our readers may recollect he made en application to Mr. CONANT, the sitting Magistrate on Tuesday last, and which application was refused. s This morn ing Mr. Robson, his Solicitor, attended the office, and being ,nshered into the bench by the chief officer, he stooped, and ad dressed something to Mr. Roe in a very low tone, who observed, "I do not exactly understand you, Sir." On this the appli cant more audibly addressed him in the following worth "I have called by the request of Lord Maryborough, to know if you will discharge an old woman who was committed for begging in Saville-passage. Mr. Rot —Did Lord Maryborough send you with that sore sage to me. Applicant—Yes. Mr. Rot--I don't know why Lord Marybo►•ough should send such a message to me ; I don't know any grounds he has; I ass not aware of any grounds for her discharge. You will give that answer to his Lordship, with my compliments. The applicant very respectfully bowed and left the office. A man named Alexander was brought up from St. Ann's wateh-house, where he was sent last night by his wife, on his at tempting suicide. She stated that he had been clerk to a coach-maker, hut had lost his situation by drinking and neglect. Last night he went home and attempted to hang himself, but was prevented. A sur geon was sent for, who cupped and left him. Ile then seised a large case-knife, and attempting to cut his throat, was prevented by his wife, who knew of no better mode of security than sending him to the watch-house. This she did not do tiU she had been violently beaten by him, which, she said, was a very usual oc currence. Mr. Roe--Do you know of any thing that could trouble his mind in that way, do you live happily with him ? Complainant—l know of no cause ;we have lived happily till lately. We have five children, and latelY be has left me for four or five days together. The night-constable of St. Ann's watch-11ot* said that the pri soner had tried to kill himself in the watchbouse, and they were forced' to watch him all night. , Mr. Roe directed Mr. A. to fetch the surgeon who bled him, as he should not admit him to bail till he knew whether or not he was fit to be at large. ' Re than ordered the officers to take his neckcloth and every thing that he could use for self destruction. The prisoner, during his examination, said not a word. H e was a genteelly-drest, well-made man, but the stern and silent wildness of his countenance impressed all_ present with his determination still to accomplish his desperate purpose., CATHOLIC MEETING. There was a Catholic Meeting this day, (Tuesday) to prepare en Address to be presented to Lord Fit:wart:lm, congratulating his Lordship on hie visit to this country. The Meeting was very numerously and respectably attended. Lord KlLLazx was called to the Chair. Air• Suoauz acted as Secretary, and read the Requisition which convened the Meeting. On the motion of Mr. Lawless, seconded by Mr. Dillon Bellew, A Committee was appointed to frame the. Address. The Corn l mittee retired for a quarter of an hour ; on their return, Lord Killeen said that a draft of an Address hid been Submitted to the Committee with the topics contained, in which they entirely agreed, ;but considered that it required revision. It was then resolved that the Noble Chairman should be authorised to transmit a copy of the Address, when prepared, to Earl Fit:William, requesting the latter Nobleman to nominatel time and place for presenting it.. Mr: tiVall OVOWNOS was called to the Chair, and the thanks of the Meeting were carried with acelamatitql to Lord Dublin .Euening Post. Tn GI/Aillts.—This being the day appointed for the changing of quarters for the ensuing six mouths of the respec tive battalions of 'Petit Guartlo, all was confusion in the suburbs of the metropolis. At en fatly hour a number of baggage waggon' , were in requisition, Conveying the arms, iteroutrements, tuid lug gage of the Regiments . to .their different new stations, w h ir , th e y arrived in the e 94.135. of the day. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON, AUG. 23.—The health of the Duke of York continues to improve. The gratifying report at the Palace. to-day is, that " his Royal Highness has gassed a good night, and is much better." Ihe Duke, it seems, is so considerably recovered, that he purposes returning to London 64 Sunday ; and then being again with us in a day or two. Lady Deering and Colonel,Whatley were here this morning, to le a ve their names at the Palace, which done, they set off' to return to Arran Lodge, at Bognor. The Russian Ambassador and Lady arrived at the Royal York Hotel last night. The Count and Coun tess not, only left their names at the Palace, but had an audience of the Royal Duke this morning. His Royal Highness continues his salutary airings. The Old Ship Tavern -challenged more than ordi nary notice yesterday ; and the cause was the marriage of Ezekiel Emanuel, Esq. of the Jewish persuasion, of. Portsea, to Rebecca, only daughter of Mr. Hyam Lewis, df this town. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. S. Herschel), Chief Rabbi of all the German congregation of Jews in his Britannic Ma jesty's dominions. Mrs. Fitzherbert, Colonel and Mrs. Dawson, and numerous others of haat ton, honoured and graced the nuptials with their presence. Subse quently a very large party sat down to a sumptuous banquet; and the festivities are to be repeated every day 'throughout the week. The new building now erecting for the residence of his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, in the King's Palace, St. James's, is in a forward state. The front is to be covered with cement.: it has already been ' commenced. There, are three tiers of nine windows etch extending along the front sid:. A balcony will be erected along the windows of die first floor. The entrance will be exactly in the centre of the ',building under a portico, sustained by six columns of the Doric order, to the height of the first floor, and six lonic co lumns above. It will be surmounted by a balustrade, and that' part of the 'attic story which will' be above the portico will be ornamented by , pilasters. The portico will extend over the pavement, but will leave a free passage to the public under it. The lower part of the building will be rusticated in the French style. Mr. Dawson, Under Secretary State for the Home Department, and Mr. Wilmot Horton, Under Secre tary of State for Colonial Affairs, arrived in town yesterday from the seat of the Earl of Cassius, at St.. Margaret's. Mr. Hunter, jun., the King's messenger, was sent off' on Wednesday evening from the Foreign-office with despatches to the Continent. Despatches were received , yesterday at the Foreign-o ffi ce from Lord Granville, our Ambassador at Paris. . Mr. Hunter, jun., whilst on his late journey to Constantinople, with despatches for the Ri ght Hon. Stratford Canning, was detained by illness for several days at Bucharest. The Duke of Grammont, we are told in the Moni teur and other Paris papers, visited the Duke De Cases at Libourne, in his way from Bordeaux to Paris. In the general mention of this trifling occur rence there is evidently an affectation of display on the part. of one of the Noble Peers. IS the latter in clined to atone for his liberal principles, or the former to adopt them ? A night coach called the Moon started from Norwich last week, i which proved an anomaly—it was the new Moon, . and yet. it .was s Oliver Cromwell being afraid of cabals from the ex pelled family, thought it dangereua to permit persons, particularly Noblemen, to quit the kingdom without leave. A young Nobleman in the interest of Cliarle3 11., came to pay his respects to the Protector, and solicit leave of absence from the.. country., Cromwell immediately granted the request, but said, " Well, let me see you soon again, but don't see Charles Stuart." " I will not, upon my honour," replied the peer.— The 'Nobleman soon returned, and coming to pay his duty to the Protector, Cromwell snatched his hat out of his hands, and with a penkife quickly cut open the lining, and from the inside took out several letters and papers directed to the friends of . Charles. " O,shaine," cried Oliver, " is this the way the English nobles keep their honour Did you not promise not to see Charles Stuart ?" " I did not see him," answered' the Nobleman. " Then," said Cromwell, " who put out the candle, you or Charles?" Oliver had cunningly Contrived to put a spy of his 'own into the Peer's ser vice, who discovered that at the interview the King first put out the lights. In consequence of information received that a private distillery was carrying on in Crown-street, Holton, Thomas Gater, accompanied by John El len) and Francis Gibbs, Excise-officers—the same who made the seizure a few days back in the private distil lery, Primrose-street, Bishopsgate—repaired 'to the premises, and found in an underground kitchen, a ' still charged with 150 gallons of molasses wash, and the several utensils made use of in the process of dis tilling—the whole of which they seized and conveyed to the Excise-office ; and on the same day (yesterddy) and through the same medium, they discovered, in a private house in Three-colt-lane, Bethnal-green-road, occupied by a Mr. Buckard Holland, SOO gallons of ,the same material, with' which a still was charged and and in full work in the back parlour—Holland him self, and his wife and children being present; their ad mission here was resisted ; Mrs. Holland, on the offi cer knocking at the door, calling out upon perceiving them to her husband, " Fly, John, fly ! the scorpions are upon you." Thus situated, the o ffi cers got through an adjoining wood-yard, and scaled the garden-wall of and before the party could separate, H s e cured olland' t s h the house, s till a number of, spirit-casks and wash bags, which have been all since lodged at the head office of Excise. LAUGHTER. ---A witty writer says, in praise of laughter—' , Laughter has even dissipated disease and preserved life, by a sudden effort of nature. We are told that the great Erasmus laughed so heartily at the satire by Iteuelilier and. Von Hutten, that he broke an imposthume, and recovered his health." In a singular treatise ' on laughter,' Joubert gives two simi. he Ag g a o i b u le p t' utt ai ii l ig d Jar instances. A patient being very low, the physician, had ordered a dose of rhubarb, countermanded th e h e perceived some sweetness of the - me di c i ne , which was left on the table.

The following is an extract t of a lisftet, dated Ho bart -town, April 8:---- " On the 21st of January last I was made free of this colony, or, in other 46rdsrfelatittobbed by that desperate and lawless banditti called Bush Rangers, of whom, probably, you may have read some accounts at home. They consist of prisoners who have effected their escape from the public works here, or the penal settlement of Macquarie Harbour, whither they are sent on being convicted of crimes after their arrival, and proceed into the bush, or woods, of this country, where they subsist by sheep-stealing, and robberies on the settlers. For some time past, this system has been carried to a very alarming extent, both as regards rob bery and murder, and has frightened many from the colony entirely. They have, in fact, had their own way, and no exertions of the military Or police could put a stop OA from the circumstance of their being harboured and assisted by many from fear, and by others froth the gain of the plundered property. Though some have been taken and executed, one party has continued to elude pursuit for a length of time, headed by one Brady, who is captain or chief over them. I cannot give you a better account of their pro ceedings, as regards myself, than by copying a state ment of the robbery from the Ilebart-town Gazette of the 28th of January : We have again the melancholy task to add one more to the painful recitals of enormities committed by the Bush Rangers. About half-past eight o'elock on Saturday evening last, six men, armed with muskets and bayonets, appeared at Mr. Hance's, River Plenty. Illr. Hance Was from home, but Mr. J. W. Sampson (his partner), a master-salter, and a servant named damsel Young, were in the house. 'When the robbers hid col lected their booty, they proceeded to force Mr, Sampson and Young to drink two tutnblers of raw spirits each, to enforce which they presented a cocked pistol. Mr. Sampson swallowed one tumbler of rum, but soon after vomited it up, and they did not persist in his drinking the second ; hut poor Young was not so fortunate—he succeeded in drinking off both the tumblers full, and his stomach unhappily retained the liquor. They then com pelled him to assist in carrying off the plunder. He wag not heard of until Monday morning, when Mr. Jantieion's shepherd, while tending his flock, observed his dogs go into an uninhabited hut, and not returning to his call, he entered, and found theat licking the unfortunate man's face, as he lay on his back on the floor. On his having his head raised, he complained of thirst, and water being supplied him, he was carried under a cherry'-trey by the door, where he revived a little, and was put into a cart, and conveyed to his master's house. He was perfectly sensible, and every thing possible was thine to save, his life, but the spirits had inflamed his stomach and intestines to such a degree that mortification took place; and he lived but one hour. An inqui sition was held on the body next day, and a verdict returned of wilful murder by some persons unknown. The robbers com pletely stripped the habitation of every valuable worth carrying off-801b. of tea, 2 cwt. of anger, a quantity of rum and flour, two fowling-pieces, and a pistol, a large quantity of wearing ap parel, plate, trinkets, and cash.' " We were taken completely by surprise ; I had no idea of their approach till three men suddenly entered my room, and demanded my keys, &c. I had sent my watch to town by Mr. Hance, to be repaired, and had only about '2ss. cash about me. I was not alarmed at the time, but continued' to smoke my pipe during the time they remained. One man stood over me with a horse pistol, and held a light, which he very civilly offered to me when my pipe required it. They have since been taken, with the exception of two ; I was the principal evidence against them, two days since, when they were found guilty , and will be executed in a few days. Eight other Bush Rangers have since been taken, and will certainly sham the same fate," SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S, Aue. t 4.

FOOT RACE, Yesterday morning a carpenter named Squire*, about 60 years of age, undertook for a wager of 51. to run four times round St. James's Park, without halting. No specified time was limited, but the pedestrian performed the task in 56 minutes. The con ditiOns of the wager were, that if he made a halt, or fell, he lost; and in order to ascertain that the distante was strictly performed, two persons, named Fox and Wardle alternately went round with him, as umpires. The man, on going the last round, was ex tremely distressed, and on his arrival at the winning poSt, ha was exhausted. We understand very soon after he was conveyed home, he was attacked with a severe sickness, and remains at 'present in a very precarious state. THE MARKETS. CORN,EXCHANGE.--(Tats Day).
